Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers

That man has pipes.

I keep thinking about my MiL when I hear this song - "I don't like him". She was in the same circles as Bill back in the day - apparently he was not a nice guy to women. I turn the volume up when it's on because the song's damn good, but still...

Porceilna of the Vast Oceans starts so quiet I always turn it up and then see if I can keep it up once it gets loud.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yes! That was their opener when I saw them a few years back. I love love love longer songs that start off quiet/delicate and gradually ramp into the heaviness.

[–] vaxpy@mujico.org 5 points 1 year ago

Most Pink Floyd songs, they start with very low volume 😁

Anything off of Parliament - Clones of Dr Funkenstein. Truly an underappreciated gem.

You specifically only asked for one but I’ll be a rebel and give you Cover You in Oil by AC/DC as a bonus.
